it is nearly ready to keg ... and tastes great

thanks i will post my progress

I used a cider so it is still cloudy (not that i would be a huge issue) what is the best way to clear it pre-keg? I read a post on filtering that looked interesting but i am not ready to make that investment your.

Thanks Bill i will do

My Thoughts were to go into a keg, would i treat that scenario differently than bottling
